    Terminal Tackle and Baits for fishing from the pier

    Hi.....I need some help with what sort of terminal tackle to use and the rigging for pier fishing. Also, what baits are used for the rigs? Will pick the stuff up at local bait shops in Gulf Shores. I should be in Gulf Shores for the last half of January. Thanks a bunch, ERO

    Wanting to target anything specific or just anything that pulls line?
    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

    Anything that bites. I come from freshwater lakes and am interested in learning about the fish you have in the Gulf Shores area. Thanks

    Stop at J&M tackle, tell them what you want to fish for and where, they will outfit you.

    Close to the each either dropper rigs or Carolina rig with #4 or 6 mosquito hooks.. Anywhere from 1/2-4 ounces of lead

    like peaches said. Carolina rig with a #4 or 6 single hook with a piece of fresh dead peeled shrimp will catch just about everything that swims. Go out to the pier and observe and just mimic what others are doing
